Trump just named Hyperliquid at the White House : CFTC working to bring it to the US “in a fully compliant and legal fashion”
Yesterday at a White House meeting with crypto executives, President Trump specifically mentioned Hyperliquid:
“I understand that Mike \[Selig, CFTC Chair\] is also working to bring Hyperliquid into the United States in a fully compliant and legal fashion. Working very hard on that.”
This is one of the clearest signals yet that the administration wants to pull major offshore perp infrastructure onshore.
**Immediate market reaction:**
* $HYPE jumped double digits (reports of 11–19% moves)
* Related vehicles (Hyperliquid Strategies / PURR and some HYPE ETFs) also surged hard
* Traditional exchanges (CME, Cboe etc.) saw pressure
Hyperliquid has been the dominant decentralized perpetual futures platform but has blocked US users. A compliant US path would be a massive narrative shift.

What do you think — real regulatory path opening up, or just talk for now?
How are you positioning around this?
